It's hard to tell why it says that. What kernel are you running (the output of `uname -a` will tell you) and what version of gcc is the default (the output of `gcc --version` will tell you)?

The scripts that m-a a-i nvidia run include automatic detection of the appropriate compiler, using information in /proc/version. You will need to install that compiler by hand if it's not a dependency of the build-essential package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly alright and you
may be building this module for another kernel in which case
you may ignore this message.
The compiler that will be used to compile this module has been
determined from:
1) the CC environment variable
2) that specified in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/compile.h
3) gcc
Using compiler gcc-3.4 version /bin/sh: line 1: gcc-3.4: command not found
